"Why are we having this conversation?" The woman's voice echoed through the hall, where four women were talking.
"You know very well why," Morgana responded to Lyra. The woman with purple hair looked at Morgana with a smile. "Are you sure about this? I mean, your husband wouldn't be able to resist all this," she said, striking a sexy pose and showing a bit of cleavage to Morgana, who looked at her seriously. "Don't provoke her," Alice's voice reverberated, separating the two.
"I understand why you're here, but none of us are interested in your husband... at least not romantically," she said, biting her lips. Like a gluttonous sinner, she wanted all the knowledge Dante had. "Tsk, cheap whores," she muttered, looking around for someone. "Come out, Reven, stop pretending you're not here," Morgana said, and from the shadows, black crows began to form a woman.
"Calling me by my real name... I see you're quite serious, big sister," Raven appeared. Unlike the women like Morgana and Alice, she was a bit more enigmatic, wearing a black cloak with a central blue jewel, and her short black hair reached her shoulders.
"Finally using your original appearance, I thought you'd keep hiding in Kryoris as a decent teacher. I miss your cute look with golden hair," Alice said to her daughter.
"Don't treat me like a child, Mom, I'm already an adult," she said seriously, but the older women in the room... "Haha... Adult..." Morgana murmured, laughing. Alice was the same, "Hehe, isn't she cute?" She laughed, Morgana nodded, and the two kept laughing at Raven. "Stop it!" Raven shouted, embarrassed. "Damn it!
I hate you both!" She said and disappeared into crows.
"That's why she hides from you two, you're unbearable," Lyra said seriously. "Shut up," Morgana said and returned to what she wanted to discuss. "As for Dante, I want you all to stay away from him," she reiterated, reinforcing her point. "I have no interest," Alice commented, "Besides, I doubt he'd be interested in me. I'm old," she said, sounding... a bit sad.
Morgana turned to her mother. "Stop the drama, you crazy old lady," she said, getting very close to her face. "Right now, he's destroying the pussy of that masochistic vampire who's over ten thousand years old. Valentina could be your mother by age! Age doesn't matter! And you still maintain that hot mature woman look!
You're exactly the type of woman he'd choose!" Morgana shouted, but... well, Alice just blushed at hearing what her daughter said.
"Is she... crazy? How could I be with my son-in-law? No! Of course not... although it's...
exciting..." Alice thought... Well, just because she's obsessed with knowledge doesn't mean she wouldn't want to know a man's body. "Your thoughts are overflowing! You old hag!" Morgana yelled, seeing her mother with a malicious look while lost in thought.
Just as there were Virtues, there were also Sins, and Kryoris created a system to train and detect these major problems.
A tournament. A form of training aimed at higher power rulers being more active in identifying people who might be vessels for Sins or Virtues. Not only that, but also a way to popularize training within the Academy.
When the Blood Armageddon happened, Dante was accused in every possible way, but that was by far not one of the biggest problems. The real problem was the fact that within the strongest, safest, and most respected Academy, a Demon King was born, and this greatly tarnished its name.
To recover and keep things safe, the tournament was created, with a suggestion from the Giant King and the Werewolf King, of course approved by the rulers together.
To recover everything and still gain in the process, the theme "Demon King Tournament" emerged. Of course, there were other measures they could take, but would the people approve? Well, probably not. So they created something that people would always enjoy, a festival and a good fight. This was the result of the Tournament.
"Mother... this is..." Sara commented, and Lyrianna nodded. "That's why I would like an audience with your husband." Lyrianna said firmly, seeing the woman's face change completely. "Mother... stay away from my husband." She said with eyes as deep as an abyss, even Lyrianna, a ruler, trembled at how her daughter looked at her, but well... "You misunderstood, you idiot.
I just want to talk to him because theoretically, he is now the representative of the Western Empire." Lyrianna explained... "H-how do you know that?" Sara questioned, after all, currently all information about what happened in the Empire should be completely sealed and without any trace leaked to the outside.
"Everyone knows, Sara, or do you think a Demon King could walk freely around the world without being spied on? All nations already know about Dante Scarlet, everyone felt his awakening and saw him even protecting Velryna and Adam. The speculation is that Dante is the husband of Velryna Smith... or rather, Velryna Scarlet.
After all, I find it hard for someone like Aldria to be the Empress alone without an Emperor, and if she's trying to do that, this empire will fall... But the story changes when a Demon King is supporting her, don't you agree?" Lyrianna questioned, and Sara was left speechless, just staring at her.
"So I'm right, Dante Scarlet is going to take command of the Empire... despite the ridiculous rumors of a Demon King taking over a Human Empire, demons and humans go well together, at least that's good." Lyrianna commented, and Sara was surprised by her words, "Good?" She questioned seriously.
"With Dante in command, or at least supporting, it means that the Eastern and Western Empires are in alliance. After all... He is your husband, and that also makes him the next emperor of the East." Lyrianna smiled, after all... Over all these years, her focus had always been the protection of her nation, but now... with Dante in the equation... Her status had risen considerably.
"If I were you, I would talk to Dante before assuming anything, mom... I'm sure he won't like it if you say things that don't align with him," Sara said seriously, "Why do you think I want to talk to him, huh?" Lyrianna questioned with a mischievous smile...
"Nagasawa... don't tell me you were right..." Sara murmured, remembering Nagasawa's words...
